Subject:[ARLIS-L] ARTstor images now available at 1024 download size
To: [log in to unmask]
We are very pleased to announce that over 95% of the images in the
ARTstor Digital Library are now available for download at 1024 pixels
on the long side.
In response to feedback from our user community, and as a result of
the relationships that we have been building with content owners, we
are now making available approximately 95% of the images in the
ARTstor Digital Library available for larger download at 1024 pixels
on the long side. This new download capacity is part of ARTstor's
ongoing effort to facilitate broad access to digital images for
teaching and scholarship. Users will be permitted to download these
large JPEG images for use in classroom presentation and for other
noncommercial, educational uses in the software environment of their
choice. Users can also continue to download images at up to 3200
pixels for offline presentations by using the ARTstor Offline Image
Viewer (OIV).
Thanks to ARTstor content contributors
The ARTstor Digital Library includes more than 80 collections totaling
more than 700,000 images. These collections have been added to the
library because the images have noted teaching or research value, or
because the community has asked for a particular body of content.
ARTstor works with a range of individual photographers, scholars,
artists and artists' estates, museums, library special collections,
and photo archives, and we are committed to continued development to
enhance the quality of ARTstor's services, collections, images, and
data. Because of the relationships that we and the community have been
building between content owners and educational users of images, and
the shared interest in developing a broad and diverse image resource
for teaching in the arts and humanities, content contributors for the
ARTstor Library responded positively to users' needs. We want to
express our appreciation to our content providers, and to the broader
community for its willingness to help build these relationships and to
improve the ARTstor Library.
